Wonderful facilities with many choices of restaurant and beach bar. The villas are well maintained. We were on half board package. Glad that they serve different selection (Spanish, Asian, etc) for the daily dinner buffet. My only comment is the Reception Staff. They seem to be a junior team still under training as they are unsure on the things we asked them. Other than this, we are pleased with our stay.

Excellent Resort”

The resort and our Deluxe Beach Villa were beautiful and very well equipped, everything was in excellent condition, the staff was very helpful, and the house reef was excellent with a great variety of fish. The huge schools (clouds) of Black Niger Triggerfish were amazing; one was totally surrounded by thousands of them! The only reason "value for money" was only four stars was that the buffet restaurant was not that good and we went to the Moodhu Bar for lunch and the Reethi Grill for dinner each day.

Beach Paradise”

20 minute flight from Male plus Around 45 minutes speedboat.
THE RESORT: Every island in Maldives is a paradise. Reethi Faru is certainly one. The inner space is covered by trees for a cool walk. It has restaurants as options if you are tired of the main restos buffet. Staff are friendly. The beach is just wonderful with its powdery white sand. No need to swim far to snorkel. We even chanced to swim with the house reef black-tipped yellow sharks. harmless.
WATER VILLA: very spacious room with comfortable bed. bathroom has a tub and an open ceiling shower. the seaside door opens up to a balcony, perfect for reading or morning coffee. We were able to swim and snorkel right off our steps.
TIPS: bring water. they only provide 2 bottles per day. additional is 3USD per liter. bring also some snacks. As there are limited options at the souvenir shop. Stay for at least a week! our biggest regret was staying for only 2nights.

Dear Jalene,
Thank you very much for your excellent review and rating.
We are delighted to hear that you have enjoyed your upgrade to our new sister property Reethi Faru which is located in Raa Atoll. Especially the spacious room and snorkeling just off the terrace.
We do produce our own drinking water which is served in re-usable and environmentally friendly glass bottles. Rest assured that we have shared your comments with the Management Team for further consideration and improvement.
We hope to welcome you back soon for a longer stay.

good honeymoon resort”

staff are very friendly except the expat staff at the reception did not offer any smile.
good variety of food (resto) but the taste is standard, need improvement for the price charged.
good transfer arrangement especially on return at no additional charge we flew back to Male using the Seaplane instead of the speed boat + local flight.
Good quiet and clean beach with nearby snorkeling spot (unfortunately most of the coral reefs are dying - need to be saved very soon )

Excellent Beach Villa! Love the Open air bathroom! ”

Great that they could allow us to transfer to the island even though we landed in Male at 8:10pm. The transfer to Domestic flight and onwards to the speed boat at almost midnight was just so professionally handled. We were met at every point by the beautiful staff of the Resort.
We got in at 1am (as Reethi has a 1 hr time difference from Male). Check-in was smoothly handled and we were shown to our Villa. Didn't get to see much of the beauty of the Island till morning.
Breakfast was good and their theme dinner was just fantastic, just wished they had more curries at dinner! Maldivian curries was superb!
Reef snorkeling was good but the best was the full day Manta & Whale Shark trip from the diving school! They are all excellent and friendly because of them (King and Sinna) and I got to see my first Manta in the waters!

Beautiful little Island in Paradise”

Room was spacious. But it's the water that is absolutely great, straight from the patio of the water resort, you immediately step into clear turquoise waters with plenty of reef fishes.
Love the stingray feeding at sunset. And OMG, Sunset is really more beautiful on Reethi!
I'd be back there in a heartbeat!

Great value”

It was our first trip to the Maldives. Every dollar is well worth it. We were in water villa 201 with best sunset view. However there is new resort under construction right across our balcony. So the view was somewhat affected. Staying during the World Cup season made the atmosphere there more lively. The resort is closing down in 2020. So do not wait and hesitate.

Our Second Visit to this Fabulous Resort”

This is the only place in the Maldives that I’ve found has affordable overwater bungalows. We came here in June 2016 and again in June 2018. Everything was flawlessly arranged—met at the airport in Malé and escorted over to the domestic side of the airport.
Both years we opted for the overwater bungalows, since we’re coming to the Maldives for the ocean. The bungalows may not be luxurious, but they are very comfortable—we hope to return in another 2 years for our third stay at Reethi Beach.
We opted this year for the all-inclusive meal plan and are glad that we did. I’m a vegetarian and was a bit worried that the buffets wouldn’t give me much variety, but they were great!
We’ve taken two snorkeling trips with the Reethi Beach dive shop—an incredible manta ray trip in 2016 and a turtle reef trip this year. On both trips we saw amazing wildlife; and the Reethi Beach house reef itself is fabulous—it’s like swimming in an aquarium!

What makes this place so good, apart from its obvious beauty, is the staff. We can't express how much of a difference they made our holiday. Friendly, helpful at every turn and always excellent service. I could go on and on about how great I think this place is but some things should be left to be discovered. Just let me say this is why we have returned to this island 6 times.

The resort is very beautiful with white sand beach, crystal clear turquoise water, full of various kinds of sea life-fishes, small shark, sting rays. Nice vegetation, fruit bats, birds, lizards, etc. are all around.
Water Villa is superb. The room is clean and comfortable. The balcony with direct lagoon access brings stunning view of ocean.
Staff are nice and friendly. With their help, my wish to see Manta Rays became true. It was worth and the right decision to stay at RBR.
Thank you very much for impressive services.

My stay is great in Reethi beach resort. The staff are very cooperative. The housekeeping staff are excellent. A very nice and beautiful beach Resort but not too many activities here. Eg : snorkeling are not scheduling daily. No live band or entertainment. Not so much choices of menu at the restaurant. Overall this resort is good.

Wonderful Experience”

Fantastic seaview, beach, food, cleaness and service

We spent 5 days on this small island.
It's the best ever holiday we had so far.
Staying in water-villa is definitely the best choice, wake up and see the sunrise; lay down and see the stary night.
The food is good and fresh. Service is good.
The only thing is Reethi is far from Male airport. Prepare your $422 bucks for the seaplane! but worth it, for the view you observe on the seaplane. Maldive is really heaven like.

Everything, Everything, Everything

From the sea plane ride to our first view of the Island was all amazing. It was a Robinson Crusoe experience, from first day. Tried dining experiences instead of buffets and was impressed, did fishing trip (awesome) especially eating the catch the next day! Staff were great, the room was a beach superior cabin which was on the sunset side of Island which was only a stroll accross to the dining, reception and pool. Snorkelling was unbelievable and the array of species was brilliant. Was hesitant at first about being too quiet but I could have had another week. A1

Great Retreat with top-notch staff!”

Great Staff, Nice Beaches and Fantastic Diving!

The unpretentious quality and friendliness of staff were a refreshing change from other hotels we have patronised. At the same time, they are attentive to your needs and would make the effort to remember your personal preferences.
Besides the fantastic in-house diving school (kudos to Robert and Khinda), you might want to try out their spa services at Coconut Spa as well.
One thing we really appreciated was the wide array of activities the hotel took pains to organise to keep guest occupied. There are different activities everyday you can indulge in, such as island trips, dolphin safaris, beach volleyball etc just to name a few.
Finally, the resort tries its best to push forth the message of environmental sustainability and they actually practice what they preach with minimal non-biodegradeble material being used on the beach resort!
All in all, a fantastic beach getaway.

Housekeeping was top-notch as they would clean up your room twice a day, and you could even state your preferred timing of their cleaning up of your rooms.
Diving was fantastic! Sea Xplorer is a comprehensive diving school with a wide selection of courses for both diving and snorkelling.
